We have all underestimated the fools and bigots who will dominate the democratic primary vote tonight in Texas and Ohio. Hillary Clinton has succeeded in piecing together all the worst elements of the party in order to win and as depressing as it is these reactionaries will triumph over hope tonight. Both major parties have an ugly side and she has exploited hers to the hilt.

That's why, regardless of the outcome tonight. I still think Obama is going to sweep! Regardless of the outcome tonight, I hope that Obama's speech centers around the theme of
"I ask you to vote FOR America, FOR your hopes, FOR your dreams, FOR a better world. While Sen Clinton asks you to vote your FEARS, to vote AGAINST hope, and AGAINST dreams. Which America do you want to live in? The choice is yours. An America that you can reclaim ownership in OR an America that allows the same old Washington Pols and Special Interest continue to fulfil their dreams ONLY? The choice is YOURS"

Will Bill, Hillary and the old DNC insiders listen? If you antagonize this spirit to satify your greedy and corrupt buddies, you will not get the youth vote and you will not get the WH.

Please keep in mind that Howard Dean and the DNC (Democratic National Committee) is well-positioned to support this movement. The DLC (Democratic Leadership Committee) has not controlled the DNC since 2005, when Dean replaced Clinton auxiliary Terry McAuliffe.

When the dust settles from this battle, there will be undeniable truth revealed about both Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama.

Neither one is perfect.

One might make a better commander in chief, or they might both make great presidents. Just because they"re both running in the same race, it doesn"t mean one has to be terrible, and the other great. Both seem to have a working moral compass, which occasionally needs recalibrating due to all the flying metal of these political wars.

Maybe neither one will make a great president. There"s always that possibility, although its not popular to say. But neither will be as bad as our current magistrate, the Mad King whose ghost has come back to haunt these colonies. That"s a fairly safe bet.

But each side was looking for imperfections from their rival candidate, and managed to find some. So what? Everyone sitting back behind the safety of your computer screens parsing words, poring over inflections, noting errors, and stumbles, are you suggesting our commander in chief be perfect. Nobody is.

But grendl...but grendl nothing. Nobody"s perfect. And the pressure on these people to carry the cross for womanhood, or black America, is enormous, and unfair. You think centuries of discrimination and subjugation are going to magically be made right by one election. Sorry.

But grendl it"s a step..Please. This planet is dying, we"re on the brink of a cold war with Russia again, we face a nuclear threat from Islamic extremists, we have no jobs, no insurance for the sick. Our children face a bleak future, and you want someone to magically eradicate racism and sexism in one election.

Back whoever wins please. I"m tired of seeing the League of Villains win the White House. We"re getting rid of the Joker, and Penguin, so just come together to keep Mr. Freeze from locking us into some 100 year war, trying to bring Democracy to nations when we barely know how to practice it ourselves.
